Located in the heart of the UNESCO-listed Amsterdam Canal District, this iconic property will be the last new hotel development permitted within a monumental  building in Amsterdam, reinforcing Rosewood’s position as a leader in luxury lifestyle.

Offering a unique cultural experience from June 2025 onwards, the new property seamlessly blends its rich history with ongoing transformation, creating an exceptional destination. 

After ten-years in the making, the city’s former Palace of Justice now welcomes a new era, as Rosewood  gives this important landmark back to the city of Amsterdam.

Built in 1665 and situated on the UNESCO  World Heritage listed canals, the property’s opening will set a new precedent for purpose-led luxury by  embracing circular hospitality and collaborating with local partners. An extensive range of high-end  amenities will bring to life the lens of Rosewood’s A Sense of Place® philosophy.

“Our mission is to craft an experience where Amsterdam’s rich history and culture intertwine with Rosewood’s distinctive lifestyle. By honoring the architectural legacy of the former Palace of Justice and creating thoughtfully designed spaces, we are not only restoring a cherished landmark for the people of Amsterdam but also inviting guests to immerse themselves in the heart of this vibrant city. It’s a celebration of heritage, innovation and meaningful connections.” - Thomas Harlander, Managing Director of Rosewood Amsterdam

The hotel includes 134 elegantly designed guest rooms and suites, along with five remarkable signature suites, many offering views of the picturesque canals, peaceful courtyards, and classic townhouse rooftops. Guests will enjoy a collection of refined dining options, including three distinctive restaurants and bars, as well as an in-house distillery. Rosewood Amsterdam will embody the Dutch concept of gezelligheid —a “welcoming and cozy atmosphere”— throughout its venues, while elevating the local dining and event scene.

Designed by Studio Piet Boon, the interiors of Rosewood Amsterdam honour the building’s heritage with a modern take on Dutch craftsmanship, combining historic grandeur with contemporary sophistication. Amsterdam’s intimate, vibrant, and accessible charm, along with its rich history, are captured through the thoughtful restoration of original features, such as cellblocks and courtrooms, reimagined for unique and exceptional guest experiences. Guests can also enjoy the city’s canals on a private Salon Boat, styled and decorated by Studio Piet Boon, providing an elegant and scenic way to travel to and from the hotel.

Guests are invited on a journey to indulge their curiosities, connecting with the essence of Amsterdam’s past, present, and future. Through thoughtfully curated experiences, the hotel offers rich insights into Dutch culture, presenting a gesamtkunstwerk—a “total work of art”—in service, comfort, art, cultural programming, retail, and design.

The property’s grand 2,400-square-foot (223- square-meters) ballroom provides a sophisticated space for events, while public areas feature intricate design elements that honour the storied past of the building and its surroundings. The property also features an Asaya® Spa, a state-of-the-art fitness centre, and an indoor swimming pool. This debut marks a significant milestone for Rosewood Hotels & Resorts as it opens its first flagship property, in the Netherlands, continuing its legacy of curating unique and culturally enriching stays around the world.

“Stepping into Rosewood Amsterdam feels like discovering a hidden gem within the city’s heart—a place where Dutch heritage meets the warmth of modern luxury. We wanted every space to reflect Amsterdam’s soul: rich in history, effortlessly elegant, and alive with charm. Each detail invites guests to feel at home, immersed in a journey that flows from the timeless beauty of the 17th century to a fresh, contemporary Dutch design perspective. Rosewood Amsterdam is not just a stay; it’s a story we’re proud to share with every guest who walks through its doors.” - Piet Boon, founder of Studio Piet Boon
